That's not a problem exclusive to Buffalo...a lot of this is the result of Hockey Canada and their price-gouging of attendees. http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhockey-buzzing-the-net/world-junior-2015--empty-seats-in-montreal-reflection-that-hockey-canada--iihf-overshot-their-target-012622485.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/world-junior-tournament-montreal-1.3919781 Quote

It's a mandate now -- the tournament is held every other year in Canada. And in certain off-years, it's held in Buffalo, which may as well be in Canada. Or a decade ago (?) when it was in GF which may as well be in Canada...Any way that can happen again? Quote

I would love for the Ralph, MTS, USA Hockey, and Hockey Canada to work together to host the tournament in Grand Forks and Winnipeg. 1 Quote

I loved what one of the Russians were quoted about Comtois (before the tourney), comparing him to a soccer player rather than a hockey player. He is too good of a talent to do what he is doing, and even the Canadian announcers were a little tongue tied on a couple of his antics. I think you will see a different Comtois in the quarters, and it will be interesting to see how focused they are. If the US gets both Hughes brothers going, and stop the D Hughes from trying to do too much, it will be a great Canada- US game for the gold. Quote

I have watched every game and as much as I am blown away by his skating and vision, it seems as though he is constantly making mistakes (some which has cost the team big time). Quote

I thought the first shouldn't be a penalty shot as it didn't take away the scoring chance. The guy still has a breakaway after the first trip. The second trip was the one that ended up taking away the scoring chance. Quote
